About this opportunity

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed price purchase order to IXSYSTEMS, INC DBA TRUENAS for a Dual Controllers System Platform. The procurement will utilize Simplified Acquisition Procedures under FAR Part 13.106-1(b) and will not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold of $250,000. The contractor will be required to provide dual controllers and modular controllers as specified in the attached inquiry of availability. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees and is classified under PSC code 7K20 for IT and telecom storage products. The Special Notice was posted on August 27, 2025, by the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research.

The primary purpose of this notice is to formally announce the government's intent to proceed with a sole source procurement rather than conduct competitive bidding, as the agency has determined that only one responsible source can satisfy their requirements.

The procurement includes seven line items covering modular controllers, dual controllers, associated 3-year service agreements, remote deployment service software, and freight, each with a quantity of one unit. This is explicitly not a request for competitive proposals or solicitation, and no solicitation package is available. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on any responses received, and no reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information.
